81 have heard of many curious
thimbles. The Queen of Siam has
one which was present from her
royal husband. The thimble had
never been in use in Siam until a few
years ago, when the King, noticing
English and American ladies visiting
his court using thimbles, had one
made for his Queen. 1t is made of
gold in the form of a lotus bud, the
lotus being the royal flower, and is
thickly studded with diamonds, so
arranged as to form her name and the
date of her marriage. This present
alton was equal to an order that the
ladies of Siam should use thimbles,
and they have used them ever since,
A lady in Boston has thimble made
from a piece of wood taken from the
Washington elm at Cambridge, the
tree under which Washington stood
when he took the oath as Command
er-in-C Chief in 1775. The wife of a
well-known clergyman ola neighbor-
ing city has thimble carved from a
peculiar stone she found on the shore
Of the Dead Sea. A lady in this city
has one made from asphaltum, with
which the sacred fires of Persia are
built"

GOOD AND TRUE SAYINGS OF
MARION HARLAND.

The building of the unsystematie house
keeper is the heaping together of bon .ders
with crcvices between. through which the
winds of disappointment whistle sharply.
System is not talent. Still less is it gen
ius. 1t is a duty! She who shirks it does
herself and her household irreparable
wrong.
To overcome evil with good is the sub
FINEST work set for mortals, but, as with
other sublime heights, the ascent to the
peak of self-abnegation is slow, toilsome.
| and often cruelty sharp to the feet of be-
ginners. The erucifixion of self demands
that nails should be driven in SO many
tender places that human nature recoils.
We are in danger of looking too far for
opportunities of doing good and commun-
ieating. IN reaching for rhododendrons
We trample down the daisies.
It saddens us to know to how few whose
night ofweeping endures long, the day ever
breaks in this world. Perhaps they viii
enjoy the eternal sunlight more for having
CROPPED so long in darkness.
System is sagacious and economical
appointment of duty to hour and minute;
an avoidance OF needless waste Of time:
courageous putting forth of the hand to the
pillow instead of talking over the work to
be done while the morning moments are
flying.
DO not defraud your children of joys
which are their birtIlright, merely because,
never having tasted them for yourself. you
do not appreciate their value.
A loyeless marriage is an unchaste union
1t is worse for women to sell herself for
home and livelihood than to fight hand
to hand with poverty all her life.
Oh, the silent heroism of these common
place women who are slow of speech and
heavy Of visage. save when perhaps once
in lifetime they look into our eyes with
dumb piteousness that liyets our souls and
startles us as if the earth had caved under
our feet in what we thought was a sure
rlaee-as if the stone had cried out to us
ont of the wall.

WELCOME TO ROBIN REDBREAsr

The eagle may be the bird for American
orators to eonjure with, and, Of course, as
our national bird, we feel bound to stand
up for it. But there is, after all, no bird
that has established stronger hold in the
affections of the people (unless, indeed, it
be the bobolink) than robin redbreast.
We can all sympathize with the writer who
voices his welcome in the Osceola, Iowa.
Sentinel:
o, robin has come back from the South
and sung again. He has sounded the
heartiest hilarious note that q throat can
utter. It is the first resonant call to the
Northern ATTITUDES Tor the innumerable
hosts that are later corners. 1t is greet
ing of the purest, breezy freshness that
ever was conveyed by sound, without a
faint of the faintest suggestions of
fear or care. After him will come the plain
tive blaebird and meadow lark; but he is
like none of the tribe. Sanguine, daring
chieftain OF birds is he. He is first cousin
to the cymbal and trombone, the genuine
type of everything that is alert and gay.
His gonfalon is the broad, green leaves of
the corn. and in the heraldry of birds he
would be given a coat of arms, bright rip
ping water shot with sunbeam and red
cherries rampant. Living prophet of good
cheer, apostle of the gospel Of gladness,
may thy shadow never be less

Stop groaning and take up song. What
we want is more faith in the final eonsum-
nation. What astonishes me is the multi.
tudes Of good men and women. though
many of them have had hard struggle to
be good. They are multiplying by the
millions. Tens of thousands of young men
who would lose their right hand or pluck
out their right eye, rather than sacrifice
their integrity. Show me one young man

show you 300 who have stood up. stupen-

Where crowds of men with noisy, hurrying

And seem TO melt and vanish in The gray.

But newly shining them like flash of

THE BIBLE.

The Bible ever has had its enemies. In
teachings. 1t has withstood the attack of
Greek philosophy, the speculations of Ger
man Rationalism, and the ridicule ofmod-
ern Ingersollism. To-day its pages shine
lions rejoice in its blessed promises
''IIeaven and earth shall pass away, but
My word shall not pass away saith the
Lord Back OF the Bible as its author
lions of the earth and stretched out the
heavens as curtain. He it is who causes
the tender grass tospring up and the beau
tiful flowers to bloom. lie perfumes the
crowns the hoary heads of the Sierra Ne
vadas with eternal snow, He sweeps the
plains OF Asia with the burning sirecco,
and lashes the ocean into fury with the
storm. The would-be destroyer of the
Bible is mortal man whose life is in his
breath, and whose breath is in his nostrils.
Who rejoices in health and an ague shakes
him; in hope, and disappointments meet
him, in life and death overtakes him. Man,
so ignorant he cannot tell from whence the
wind bloweth when it listeth, so impotent
he cannot create n bulrush. How I'M
equal the contrast. 1t is like the battle of
a pigmy against the giants Men may rid
icule and laugh and seorn, but the Bible
will endure as God revealed word to man,
and millions will live and die in faith of
it's teachings when its enemies shall have
oiyen their bodies back to their mother
earth and their names shall have been
forgotten among men. IL.
